Advancement Rank

These are the advancement ranks for both
the Boy Scout and Senior Scout programs of the Boy Scouts
of the Philippines. Boy Scouting is not a pre-requisite
for Senior Scouting and a Boy Scout is not required
to go through Senior Scouting to achieve the rank of Outdoorsman
Scout. Trail to Eagle is merely my personal
way of categorizing the common ranks between both programs.

Note that under the Trail to Eagle section,
some requirements relating to merit badges and specialist
ratings becomes unworkable due to poor planning on the part
of our national council's program department. Let
me explain why.

Senior Scout Program

Trail to Eagle

Eagle Scout Anahaw Award

After a Scout has earned the Eagle Scout
Rank and before reaching the age of 17 years, he can go on
to pursue the Anahaw Award. In addition to
the 21 Merit Badges for the Eagle Scout Rank, the Anahaw Award
may be granted as follows:

The Bronze Anahaw Award shall be given only
after at least three-(3) months of active Scouting as an Eagle
Scout. Subsequent Anahaw Awards may be made at intervals not
less the four-(4) months of tenure following the conferment
of an Anahaw Award of lower grade.
